The only thing I can think in support is the fact that Larry wanted to be able
to dynamicly change the data/cell from lbs to kilos and kilos to lbs
depending on a pull down selection. The only thing I could think of was a
cell render. But that sounded as bad as what Larry ended up with.
At this moment I don't recall why a bizobj wasn't used. But could you explain
how the data set's SQL capabilities might have been used?
